Empire Of The Sun

Taking their name from the J.G. Ballard novel that became a 1987 Steven Spielberg film, Australia's larger-than-life electro-glam-pop duo Empire of the Sun feature the Sleepy Jackson's Luke Steele and Pnau's Nick Littlemore. Steele had previously worked with Pnau on "With You Forever," a track from the band's 2007 self-titled third album, and the pair enjoyed collaborating so much that they started their own project, drawing inspiration from the likes of Phoenix and Daft Punk. In fall 2008, Empire of the Sun released the debut album Walking on a Dream, which the musicians described as "a spiritual road movie." Featuring songs co-written by Pnau's other half, Peter Mayes, the album went platinum in Australia and the title track became a hit single across the globe. After time spent touring, and a period when Littlemore went AWOL to write music for Cirque du Soleil, the duo regrouped in the studio to work on their second album. The unguardedly pop Ice on the Dune was released in early summer of 2013. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

In love! Thank you Empire of the Sun for being awesome. The album Ice on the Dune is one of those albums where every single song is a winner. Every single song is relatable, singable, enjoyable and an auditory dream. I'll place Ice On the Dune with my other loves Zero 7 Simple Things, Weekend Players and Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.

I could never possibly gush enough over or say enough great things about these guys! Walking on a dream is one if the very best songs in the history of time, and everything else they do is just great to! Empire Of The Sun! May you continue to rule the galaxy for the rest of time! Also liked what u had to say Lily ;) !

I was impressed by when the sang alive. At the beginning of the song I was ‘bout to skip the song until they started the best part. Empire of the Sun, hmmm……..sounds like a movie to me when I 1st saw the name.

If anyone is listening this bands music is slowly seeping into your head making tiny portals in your head were you can escape reality and go to a place where rules don't exist a place where you can feel alive, where the cool ocean breezes send your spine shivers, tall mountains to freely clim, and where imagination is expressed and not bottled up in you. You can walk in a dream and the people that see this portal are the people who haven't been lost in society they are free. Join me in the army

This freaked me out this isn't fake. Apparently if you copy and paste this on 10 songs you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out. If you break the chain you will see a dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I am sorry.
